Many tyres\nprematurely wear out because of under-inflation. Tyres which are low in pressure wear out the edges\nand this can reduce the life of the tyre by up to 50%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having the\ncorrect air pressure in your tyres not only extends the life of the tyre, but\nalso makes the car safer on the road, especially in the wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tyre pressures should be checked every 2 to 4 weeks, as the oxygenin the tyres will naturally escape over time. The reason for this is because oxygen molecules are small and can easily pass through the rubber compound of the tyre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s hard to remember to check the pressures and we are so time-poor these days, I mean who has the time, to find the time, to check the tyres. And who ever checks the spare wheel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nitrogen disperses three to four times slower than compressed air. It is largely because of this, that a tyre inflated with pure nitrogen has numerous benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When correct tyre pressure is maintained, a pure nitrogen filled tyre assists in maintaining the correct pressure for longer. This is because nitrogen molecules are larger than oxygen molecules, making them more resistant to leaking. Therefore, pressurised nitrogen stays inside a tyre longer, unlike oxygen, which escapes more readily over time. Correct tyre pressure improves the performance, durability and contributes to the overall fuel efficiency of your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
